VW Golf CC, VW Jetta CC: Not coming to US?

Latest street word has it that the rumored VW Golf CC / VW Jetta CC will not make it to the US.

We’ve learned from European sources that while approval for the car still looks good—a final decision has yet to be made—it is highly unlikely that the car will make it to U.S. dealers. The reason is simple: The thing would be really expensive, and is expected to cost more to build than our Passat.

VW China is hot for this car and was originally hoping Volkswagen of America could add volume and bolster the business case. But beyond U.S. sales being unnecessary—the car appears to be on track for China and Europe anyway
